Rods from Tod Or I suspect you mean some kind of weapons-launched-from-orbit? I hope that's not true, as weapons in orbit will only lead to use of anti-orbit weapons, which means a debris shell around the planet. Or maybe you mean kinetic, guided (but inert) weapons that achieve incredibly velocity but are non-powered on their approach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please Robots? It’s going to be some sort of radioactive Godzilla like creature. From either some nuclear plant accidentally fired upon creation, nuclear fallout, or years after the Chernobyl incident and created Ents that can only be called for help when times are at their worst.

Jwheel86 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 10 minutes ago, Jwheel86 said: JADC2? I'm assuming it's this. JADC2 is a DoD wide program to link sensors and shooters in real time over a network, regardless of platform. Each branch has its own program to link together their own systems, once finished those 3 systems will be linked together. The idea is that an Air Force AWAC can detect a cruise missile and the system will automatically send weapons quality data to the shooter the system thinks can kill it, maybe an Army Patriot Battery or a Navy Aegis Destroyer, all without the shooter turning on its own sensors.

So we'll see an LAPD officer fire their pistol in the air as ordered by AI at a precise angle and take out a cruise missile with a single bullet.

Xbob42 Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 4 hours ago, Commissar SFLUFAN said: It absolutely is and if anything such a protracted stalemate may only increase the probability that Moscow will use "extraordinary means" (i.e. a tactical nuclear weapon) to break it. I do wonder what Ukraine's response would be at that point. Based on everything I see, I just can't imagine it doing anything but enraging them. They don't seem the type to have their will broken even by extraordinary means. It certainly wouldn't improve civilian morale and would be horrific, but I can't see it being the "win" button a Putin in this situation might assume it would be.
